stopped doing the top up feeds thing as it wasn't working anyway... i've decided over the past week just to relax, let him be, feed him whenever he wants (although i still make him wait like 10 mins (just wait til he grouches a bit first so he feeds properally), and stop looking at the clock! I've been feeding him a lot more, i think he is having a growth spurt! - he is already beginning to look like he should move out of 00 wondersuits, although in seperates 00 he looks dwarfed... but i cant believe another growth spurt - the boy is huge!
Does anyway know of a nice gentle way to try and get them on a schedule a little bit, or should i just let him do whatever he wants.. he kinda wakes around the same time each morning, and i think he is happier for a bit of a routine.. its just the afternoons/evenings that are crazy!
Also, i've noticed my supply is a little diminshed (although has picked up with the 1 to 2 extra feeds he is squeezing in each day), i think from the minipill! I had such a big supply before that i dont think he is suffering now cos he stops b4 the are fully fully drained, but i dont leak inbetween like i used to.. He gained a little less weight (like 210g p/w instead of 250g) over the past 4 weeks.. is that just him settling down, or should i do stuff to try and pick up my supply??
Gosh being a mother is so confusing!!?? (but i love it anyway!)
